Overstock Campus

The Salt Lake City based Overstock.com contracted with SnapSports of Utah to design and construct a state-of-the-art gamecourt for their 19 acre corporate campus in Murray, UT.  Overstock is an original resident of the “Silicon Slopes” and recently built and moved into their roughly 1,500 employees into this new campus (formerly based in Cottonwood Heights).

When Overstock first came to us with the desire to built a multi-court for their employees the primary questions were location and sizing.  After discussing several potential locations we landed on a formerly un-used/un-landscaped portion of the campus near the parking lot.  After determining that the main sport to be played would be basketball (tennis/net sports secondary) we designed a 50′ x 84′ full-court with a multi-game net.  Here is a photo of the space where the court would be built:

After finalizing the colors/design we began construction in September 2018.  We excavated the space and poured 20″ footings for a 10″ retaining wall on 3 sides of the court.

Once the retaining walls & slab were in place we installed the rest of the fencing and began installing the custom court.  The 50′ x 84′ Bounceback Shocktower court has 2 regulation 72″ Duraslam hoops, removable multi-sport net, and 10′ tall chain link.  There are also a few court side benches for when you need a breather!

Thanks to Overstock.com for working with us on the project and we hope the employees enjoy the court for decades to come!

Partnership with local non-profit to build court for underprivileged kids

SnapSports of Utah recently partnered with local non-profit University Neighborhood Partners to build a community basketball court.  University Neighborhood Partners “brings together University and west side resources in reciprocal learning, action and benefit”.  They primarily work with underprivileged children and provide resources to help them succeed.

The SnapSports of Utah team installed a small half court in their existing parking lot for the kids to enjoy after school.  It will provide a safe place for them to play and get some exercise while bonding with their peers.

Here is a testimonial from the University:

Having a basketball court was a consistent request of the youth at the UNP Hartland Youth Center for over 5 years.  Unfortunately, we could not make it work with our budget. Then about three years ago, a group of university staff began to raise funds to help the youth get their dream of a basketball court..but we were still short!  Thanks, to SnapSports of Utah, they were able to provide a discounted price that made the dream a reality. We are grateful to this support…and we promise to having kids playing on it every day, as our way of saying THANK YOU!
